STRATEGIC TIME MANAGEMENT

Since time is an important factor in all that we do, it is but logical that its proper management would contribute towards success in all areas of our life; hence the adage: time is life.

One’s perspective and paradigm regarding time and its management is at the core of how one handles his/her time. “I don’t need time management training,” once a person said, “look, I am always on time.” This is actually correct according to his understanding of time management as he was equating time management with punctuality.

A naval officer said: “Two things come to my mind when I think of time management: speed and element of surprise”. This complex perspective will define how this officer will manage his time.

Acknowledging that people have different perspectives, we have developed a unique perspective and paradigm of time management which differentiates our workshop from others.

• The unique paradigm of the STM workshop

To explain the paradigm, let me introduce you to three simple concepts: vision, purpose and the balancing of different roles in life.

Vision is defined as the picture of the future that we would like to see. It can be short term or long term.

If vision is the ‘what’ of the future (becoming a cardiac surgeon for example), then purpose is the ‘why’: the answer to why you want to become a cardiac surgeon in the first place.

We all regularly come across people with unclear visions and purposes, casting a deep shadow on their lives and making it difficult to define what they truly want.

We all have different roles in life: at our workplaces we may be employees, mentors and colleagues; at homes we may be sons, husbands and fathers; on the social level we may be members of charitable associations or sports clubs.

At times an imbalance appears in our roles: for example, Aslam is an excellent engineer but a poor boss; Farah is a fantastic artist but an inadequate mother; Ali is a good father but a poor neighbor.

Our paradigm of time management is:

“Having a clear vision and purpose in life and then utilizing our time to realize our vision while maintaining a balance in all of our roles.”

Built on this definition, our workshop goes beyond punctuality or doing more things in less time.

• How would this workshop help you?

This workshop will help you in many ways such as:

By understanding the importance of a clear vision in life, your focus on what you really want out of your life will increase.

Your decision making will become thoughtful and aligned to your vision.
By using state of the art planning concepts and tools, you would be able to reduce stress by eliminating the confusions that arise daily due to the fast moving world.
You would be better equipped to handle emergencies, urgencies and uncertainties in a more effective and thoughtful way.
You will increase your determination and then move on to the many things in life that have eluded you due to the lack of will and persistence.
Through effective prioritization you would be able to streamline your work by building efficiencies in your daily routines.
You would be able to have the inner peace and tranquility that comes from having a clearer meaning in life and to be striving towards a worthy and valuable vision.
If you are already working towards a worthy vision, this workshop will give you the invaluable tools to effectively translate your vision into reality.
